Should Christians keep the Sabbath

Should Christians keep the Sabbath if it was not made for them?

The Sabbath was given to the children of Israel, before the advent of Christ, as a sign between God and them. The Sabbath and the other nine commandments set these people apart from the other nations of that time.

Ex 20:10 But the seventh day is the sabbath of Yahweh thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates:

At the cross, Yahshua abolished in his flesh the Old Testament law of commandments contained in ordinances. He also made it possible for all of the faithful to become the Israel of God (Math 15:21-28, Gal 6:14-16, Eph 2:15).

Eph 2:19 Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellowcitizens with the saints, and of the household of God

Christians should not keep the Sabbath

The law of commandments contained in ordinances does not pertain to the New Covenant sons of God. Christians keep the Sabbath, or attempt to keep it, only because of a misunderstanding of God’s Word (1 John 3:1-2).

2 Cor 4:2 But have renounced the hidden things of dishonesty, not walking in craftiness, nor handling the word of God deceitfully; but by manifestation of the truth…

The new law of Christ is not of a carnal commandment, but He is the means unto eternal life (Heb 7:16).

Eph 2:18 For through him we both have access by one Spirit unto the Father.

All who are in Yahshua are the true Israel of God (Gal 6:15-16).

Should Christians keep the Sabbath, even though Yahshua never commanded anyone to keep it?

Yahshua criticized the scribes and pharisees for all of their vain rules regarding what could be done on the Sabbath.

If Yahshua said the Sabbath was made for all men, then it would be lawful that Christians keep the Sabbath. The truth is that the Sabbath was made for a certain group of people, and for a set period of time (Mark 2:27).

How can Christians keep the Sabbath when they are under the new Law of Christ.

Col 2:14 Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross;

Is it possible that Christians keep the Sabbath purely out of ignorance?

Col 2:16 Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days:

When so-called Christian denominations follow after the teachers of fables, they are involved in a system of religious beliefs and rituals. This is the identification of a Christian Cult (2 Tim 4:3-4).

Must Christians keep the Sabbath? The answer is absolutely not.

Romans 12:2 And be not conformed to this world, but become transformed
by the renewing of your mind…

Transformed actually means
metamorphosis; through the
Baptism of the Holy Spirit we
put on the mind of Christ,
discern the truth, and walk in
the light instead of darkness.

John 14:7 If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also, and
from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him.

John 10:30 I and my Father are one

Gal 2:21 I do not frustrate the grace of God, for if righteousness is through
the law, then Christ is dead in vain.

Gal 3:2 This only would I learn of you, Received ye the Spirit by the works
of the law, or by the hearing of faith

Luke 3:16 I indeed baptize you with water, but one mightier than I will
come… he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost and with fire

Mark 16:16 He that believes and is baptized (with the Holy Spirit) shall be
saved,but he that does not believe shall be damned. (Emphasis Added)

Matt 10:22 And ye shall be hated of all men for my name’s sake: but he that
endures until the end shall be saved

1 Peter 1:9 receiving the end of your faith, even the salvation of your souls
